Limits of agricultural greenhouse gas calculators to predict soil N2O and CH4 fluxes in tropical agriculture por Richards, Meryl B., Metzel, Ruth, Chirinda, Ngonidzashe, Ly, Proyuth, Nyamadzawo, George, Vu, Quynh Duong, Neergaard, Andreas de, Oelofse, Myles, Wollenberg, Eva Karoline, Keller, Emma, Malin, Daniella, Olesen, Jørgen E., Hillier, Jonathan, Rosenstock, Todd S.
